If you require a professional image processing system to meet specific needs it is essential that the lens also meets all the necessary criteria to ensure long-term functionality. We spoke to Rob Watkinson from Resolve Optics about overcoming the limitations of off-the-shelf products and achieving the best results.
Hydrogen can be used in many ways as an energy source for industry and heavy goods transport, making it a key factor in transforming the energy supply. In addition to being produced from renewable energies, its availability is also crucial. IO-Link sensors from JUMO enable the rapid implementation and safe operation of a modular concept for hydrogen production. Author: Alexander Hof, Senior Product Manager Connectivity, JUMO
We spoke with Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG, about the upcoming HANNOVER MESSE (April 20–24).
Danube Dynamics and Aspöck Systems automate complex lamp inspections using adaptive AI and IDS industrial cameras to ensure accuracy, flexibility and full traceability under real production conditions.

Reactive robotics has delivered enormous efficiency gains for industry. But the technology is reaching its economic limits: systems that only respond to the current state scale speed – but not stability. As process complexity grows, small misjudgements lead to costly downtime. Sereact is now introducing Cortex 2.0, a new generation of AI that evaluates the consequences of actions in advance and eliminates errors before they occur. The economic potential is immense.
